Summary
Specialise in Concept Design for your Bachelor of Design with Honours at Massey
Concept design is about visualising and developing the ideas behind film, television, gaming, performance, products and interactive experiences.
In the Bachelor of Design with Honours (Concept Design), you’ll use traditional and contemporary art forms to communicate your concepts for new objects, characters or environments. This could include drawing and sculpting 3D models, as well as making digital plans and renders.
You could be designing characters, creatures, props, vehicles and machines, all the way to building entire worlds to form the foundations of feature films, theme parks, events, toys or exhibits.
Concept design is one of the first stages in every design process. Concept designers create the basis for further production and development, rather than finished products.
